hnRNP F (Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein F, hnRNP F, Nucleolin-like Protein mcs94-1, HNRNPF, HNRPF)

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) constitute a set of polypeptides that contribute to pre-mRNA processing and transport, and also bind heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), which are the transcripts produced by RNA polymerase II. hnRNP complexes are the major constituents of the spliceosome and in particular, the hnRNP A1 protein is one of the major premRNA/mRNA binding proteins and also one of the most abundant proteins in the nucleus. hnRNP A1 and A2/B1 regulate the processing of pre-mRNA by directly antagonizing the association of various splicing factors and by influencing the...
